In the process of organizing chemistry education, it is important to understand that in the context of the introduction of the cognitive paradigm of education under the conditions of modern generating of chemical knowledge, the system of additional education as a universal form of development leads each student to a new, better state. Within the framework of a new approach to the organization of a purposeful process of teaching and upbringing by means of providing educational services by the implementation of additional educational programs, information and educational activities outside the main educational programs in the interests of students on the basis of the Kazan Federal University, author's electronic educational resources and digitized programs of additional education were developed and tested on the example of theoretical and experimental teaching at the Small Chemical Institute of the University. A survey of chemistry teachers working in schools in the city of Kazan or the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as graduates - future chemistry teachers showed that 97% of respondents use the possibilities of the system of additional chemistry education. The structure and logic of the implementation of the proposed programs expand the ability to use logical thinking operations in teaching, such as synthesis, analysis, analogy, comparison, generalization and systematization, and are aimed at forming students' understanding of a single chemical picture of the world, its materiality and the reasons for the diversity of the natural science world.

The necessity of studying the use of language corpora in foreign language teaching at the university level as a possible connector with contemporary scientific and research trends is intensified by the very need to bring the universities in the Republic of Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina closer to the regional and European scientific and research networks as well as to profile them within the aforementioned academic space. Efforts to set the corpus linguistic theoretical and practical posits as the basis of contemporary interdisciplinary linguistic research in the educational practices are aimed at emphasising the need to redesign some of the courses in the foreign language departments where students and teachers have expressed a desire and an interest in learning about this approach to the applied linguistic practice. The paper presents the results of a project aimed at familiarising students with the corpus studies and fundamentals of corpus linguistics, as well as with working independently on the selected corpora with the goal to achieve learning outcomes that could not have been previously included in teaching in the first cycle of academic studies. The paper primarily focuses on the challenges and experience gained through the introduction of the corpus studies within the English lexicology classes. Challenges faced by the teacher during the presentation of the corpus linguistic analysis, students’ disinterestedness for the linguistic theoretical and practical research, the lack of literature and practical tools, as well as the limited time and content action framework, have been overcome nevertheless, which is evident from the students’ positive feedback. The most valuable result is the actual raising awareness of students as far as the importance of their role as active participants in the realisation of teaching process outcomes is concerned - the process which is expected to possess not only an educational function but also to create a practitioner who will be able to respond to the challenges of the contemporary job market.

The assessed importance of each of the four basic language skills in a foreign language varies, and the relationship between a person’s knowledge of vocabulary and the four macro language skills is highly elaborate in a foreign language of a particular profession, i.e. domain. In addition to the vocabulary in general language, a person must also master the knowledge of concepts that form the theoretical basis of the profession in question as well as the terms assigned to these concepts, first in one’s native language and then in the foreign one. The first aim of the research in this paper was to determine how respondents assessed the import of each sub-skill within the four groups of basic language skills – reading, writing, listening and speaking on the one hand, and on the other to determine the weight of knowledge of sports management-specific terminology in a foreign language for working in sports management in the Republic of Croatia. The second objective was to establish, also in the context of sports management, the correlation between the estimated importance of each of the four language skills and the estimated importance of the knowledge of sports management-specific vocabulary. The sample consisted of 70 students (men: n = 44; women: n = 26) of the fourth and fifth study years at the Faculty of Kinesiology, the University of Zagreb. The students filled out a questionnaire consisting of 58 items. They rated the relevance of all the sub-skills within the four basic language skills with the highest ratings. As for the order of skills given their criticality, the results indicated that the subjects considered reading skills as the most important, followed by listening, speaking and finally writing. The respondents also assessed the significance of the command of sports management-specific vocabulary with the highest rating. However, contrary to expectations, the analysis pointed to a low or only marginally moderate correlation between the assessed merit of each of the four language skills and the assessed weight of knowledge of the sports management-specific vocabulary.

Language is generally perceived as the medium of communication of ideas and thoughts. Recent technological advancements have aided the processes of language communication. When we speak about technology, we normally refer to computers and digitalization. However, technology indeed refers to anything that is produced, assembled and that makes our lives easier. Social media previously related through television programs of any kind, can now be easily accessed through mobile devices, computers, and video conferencing software. Language teaching and learning in general, and foreign language teaching and learning in particular, have evolved in the digital age, especially as we move from single language users to a more bilingual or even plurilingual society. Foreign language takes on a new meaning in the digital age. With the emergence of Information and Instructional Technologies and their influence on teaching and learning it becomes a must to equip faculty members and students with the necessary skills to handle these developments and utilize their benefits in teaching and learning. The swift development of new technologies and their universal application in education requires innovative methods and approaches in teaching and learning a language in the digital age. This paper provides an overview of how technology has evolved in time and how it contributes to language communication, alongside political, economic and social lines in the Republic of Macedonia in general and at the Southeast European University in particular. The Mission of the University is to seek excellence in teaching and research within the higher education system in the Republic of Macedonia, by offering equal opportunities for all based on impartiality and merit. One of the key elements of the mission of the University includes active cooperation with universities in the Republic of Macedonia as well as with international universities. The main aim under which the university is governed and managed is to contribute to higher education in the Albanian language, through a mutual interethnic understanding and aims to provide a multilingual and multicultural approach to teaching and research by developing study programs according to broad European and international standards. In this respect, we will also focus on the latest trends in the area of language learning in the digital age and the efforts that our university is making in order to keep in step with them, especially through several of its units that have been specifically established with this mission in mind, such as the e-learning center and the language center.

Preparing investigators to competently conduct community-engaged research is critical to achieving Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program goals. The purpose of this study is to describe the perspectives of members of a long-standing community engagement advisory board (CEAB) on investigators’ readiness to engage communities and indicators of investigator competence in community-engaged research, in order to suggest core competencies to guide the development of CTSA-sponsored educational programs. Two 90-minute focus groups were conducted with a subset of members of a CEAB (n=19) affiliated with the Center for Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago. CEAB members identified a range of investigator skills and practices that demonstrate readiness to engage in community-engaged research. Eight competencies were identified that should be incorporated in providing education to enhance the readiness and competency of CTSA-affiliated researchers planning to engage communities in research. CEAB observations demonstrate the necessity of developing competency-based educational programs that prepare clinical and translational scientists at all levels for the important work of community-engaged research.

The paper describes the methodology and experience of conducting independent evaluations of the development of general professional competencies in students (future teachers) and their compliance with the requirements of the professional standard for teachers as well as the federal state educational standards for general education. The system of independent evaluation of professional competencies in students of teacher training programmes was tested twice within the project of modernization of teacher education with the assistance of participating universities. The evaluation involved more than 6300 students in 51 universities of the Russian Federation. It is argued that this evaluation helps to create competency-based individual and group profiles for future teachers and to assess how effective the university is in training students in accordance with the requirements of the professional standard for teachers.

The article discusses peculiarities of the customized approach, which takes into account the requirements of specific employers to the process and content of specialists’ training. Since the final consumer of the educational service provided by tertiary educational organization is the employer who hired the graduate, it is necessary to focus on the specifics of a particular organization activity when training specialists. Customized training is based on the collaboration of the University and the partner organization-employer, which consists in coordinating and adjusting educational programs within the existing standards to form professionally significant skills of graduates demanded by the employer, and involves further employment of the graduate in this organization. In this case, the specified organization acts as an investor or co-investor in the training of a future specialist. The employer’s participation in the educational process includes cooperation with the university not only in development of curricula and work programs of disciplines, but also in organization of seminars, conferences, in providing platforms and equipment for students to have their practice and to do their projects in real production conditions while solving actual professional problems. Customized training is one of the mechanisms to solve the problem of overabundance of specialists in some industries and a shortage of highly qualified personnel in others.
